Is this only for pages or does it work well for posts?

No, I don’t think it worked quite right. got to

Paste the code in the right spot in your page.php copy. Name it sitemap.php, etc. for the rest of the instructions. Same instructions. New way of getting the code.

Oh, I forgot, it’s important to have the part where it says “Template Name: Sitemap” That’s how you get it to show up in the page editor as a sitemap template.

I didn't know about this plugin. I will check it out. I always modified the page template to create a sitemap page template. For users that may feel comfortable with it, copy the contents of page.php find the place where you have the div class="entry" tag. Everything between that and the ?php endwhile; endif; ? tag is going to be replaced with this code

Home
				All internal pages:
				
					
				
				All internal blog posts:
				
					have_posts()) : $archive_query->the_post(); ?>

Then upload the new page as sitemap.php Create a new page for your sitemap. It will be a blank page, but in the "attributes" widget of the sidebar in the editor select "sitemap" as your template. Then publish it. I hope the code tags worked. I don't know if your theme is compatible with that.

Don’t use only one dash left and right like but add 2 dashes like this:

It didn’t work for me with only 1 dash. Adding 2 dashes left and right solved the issue instantly.

I’ve had an XML sitemap for a long time, however I didn’t realize the seo benefits of an HTML sitemap as well.

Very easy to install the plugin you recommended. Thanks!

What is the difference between this sitemap and the archives generated by SRG Clean Archives?

Yes! The sitemap is one of those awesome search engine tools that many bloggers and website owners alike overlook all the time! It’s very powerful and I’m glad you’re reminding everyone, I did mine a couple weeks ago. Great tips as always, Court!

I’ve used the Dagon sitemap plugin for a while on my blogs that would not work with the google sitemaps plugin. It’s very simple and works great. However, I never thought about using it on the blogs that also have the google xml sitemaps installed as well. hmm…
